Sr SEO Specialist

Is This You?

You’re a search-savvy strategist who brings something extra to the table: you can write. Not just content briefs and optimization notes, but the actual copy ‑‑‑web pages, long‑form articles, editorial content ‑‑‑written with the precision of someone who understands search intent and the instincts of someone who understands an audience.
You’re fluent across the full spectrum of SEO: on-page, off-page, local, and technical. But where you stand out is your ability to take a keyword strategy and turn it into content that earns both rankings and readers.
You’ve worked in an agency environment and know what it means to manage multiple clients, navigate competing priorities, and deliver quality work on a deadline. But beyond the execution, you think critically about the work itself. You’re always asking what could be sharper, what’s been done before that you can do better, and what the next evolution of this account, this deliverable, or this discipline looks like. You don’t just want to do good work ‑‑‑you want every piece of work to be better than the last.
You’re ready to own SEO programs end‑to‑end for dedicated accounts, contribute to the growth of the people around you, and push the department forward. You’re curious, collaborative, and relentless about improvement.

Develop content strategies from initial research through final copy ‑‑‑not just the plan, but the execution
Conduct content audits to identify what to update, expand, consolidate, or replace, and prioritize based on performance and opportunity
Analyze data, identify trends, and translate insights into clear recommendations clients can act on ‑‑‑going beyond reporting to push strategic thinking forward
Bring new ideas, approaches, and perspectives to the table: challenge assumptions, test hypotheses, and advocate for continuous improvement

Contribute to the growth of the team ‑‑‑sharing knowledge, elevating standards, and helping shape how we do SEO and content at RDI

Genuine curiosity about where search is going ‑‑‑AI, evolving algorithms, new content formats ‑‑‑and a drive to stay ahead of it
